The duo, together with coach Kgoloko Thobejane, Sipho Moeti and Lewis Macha, were suspended or allegedly drinking on the bus after the game against Free State Stars last month.
Moeti and Macha were since allowed to train with the rest of the team, while Thobejane remains suspended.

Now a source close to Baroka told Phakaaathi that Masuluke and Shaku appeared before the club’s disciplinary committee this week and were fired from the club.
“They were given their clearances yesterday [Tuesday],” said the source.
Masuluke made international headlines last year when he was nominated for the Fifa Puskas award.
He lost out to Arsenal’s Olivier Giroud for the award at The Best Fifa Football Awards ceremony in London in October.
